Hello.

So, i work in Tier 1, and my game crash when i click on the banner. I'm using Admob with the actual build 2.0.11.

I get random crash too when the app is in the background, but it's really rare, i get a 100% chance to crash when i clic on an ads

I'm alone with this problem ? Or do i miss something ?

Thanks in advance.

Great thing about admob is it's three commands and your done, no need to mess with it in your game loop.

Any chance on seeing your admob sections of your code? Only things I can think of is your admod # is wrong or you're trying to mess with admob in your game loop, which is unnecessary unless you're hiding/showing it.

I load before the Do & Loop this :

// AdMob



And... that all. No more code is required

Obviously, the problem is not The detail in SetAdmobDetails, i load the correct configuration of the Ads.

That's really strange, i will try to create a demo of what happens.

This simple exemple reproduces the problem.


(simple... right ? )

The game going in the background and my default browser is showing up (normal). But just after i reselect the AppGameKit app, the game crashed. I'm on Android 4.4.4. Tried with generating an APK too.

The problem not exist with the old Android version i have (2.3.6).

Are the offsets necessary?
What is happening with that orientation setting?
Could the combination of those two be causing it?
I don't really see very much else happening, so maybe try changing one of those and see what happens.
As in change...
CreateAdvertEx(0, 0, 0, 0, 2, 2)
...to...
CreateAdvert(0, 0, 0, 0)

or...
SetOrientationAllowed( 1, 1, 1, 1 )
...to...
SetOrientationAllowed( 0, 0, 1, 1 )

Because it looks like you are using landscape mode for the set up.

I don't think it is the problem, i have this with a game in portrait mode. I will try the CreateAdvert() command tonight to see if i have the same crash... I used CreateAdvertEx to center the ads.

Ok so, it's happen only on my Xperia Z3 Compact...

I don't understand why, but i share it.

Edit : Found ! It was an option in Developer mode, with the Background process limit, *do not keep discontinued operations*. Just after desactivate it, the problem disapears. It's happens only with AppGameKit games, not with others apps... :/

Maybe the apps made with AppGameKit are more thorough than those other apps.

Glad to hear you got it working, and thanks for sharing when you figured this out.
Some people resolve the issue on their own and then never come back to say what fixed it, leaving the rest of us vulnerable to that issue.
